Posted in: #Analytics #Google #GoogleMaps #Mobile #Seo

If you click on a Google Maps URL link (comgooglemaps://) on a website in Safari or Chrome on an Android or iOS device that opens up the native Google Maps App, can/does Google track the referring website that you clicked the link on?

For example: if you clicked on comgooglemaps://?q=Pizza&center=37.759748,-122.427135 from webmasters.stackexchange.com in Chrome or Safari on iOS or Android, this takes you to the Google Maps native app. Can Google track the referring site (webmasters.stackexchange.com)? If yes, do they?
